The "Tete de la Course" or the head of the race, in this case a three man break away comprised of Natnael Berhane (Europcar), Blel Kadri (AG2R) and Cesare Benedetti (Netapp-Endura). The three got away from the very first kilometer of the stage. One of the hold overs from the days before race radios and GPS transponders, is the time keepers with the chalkboard. The guys in the bright yellow of the LCL race sponsors go between each group on the road and the peloton informing them of the time gaps between each group of cyclist on the road. This is an original small (4"x6") watercolor and ink painting that was created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from the North American company, Jack Richeson and Company,
